Complete The Long Dark Mission 5: Air Base: Espionage (3). Learn how to obtain disguise, subvert security, and board Air Force One.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Equip the DrugSpy and drug guards. Shoot the lady emerging from the cave. Return the Drugspy to Joanna, take the lady's disguise, and put it on. Put your crossbow away. Use the silver doors near the start, turn left, and use the elevator. Proceed through the hallway into the room with two men at a table. Shoot them with the crossbow set to Sedate. Take the briefcase, then use the elevator to return to the main lobby, ensuring you are still unarmed. Continue forward through the doors near the secretary to complete the first objective.
  2. 2
    Proceed down the hallway to a room with a guard and escalators. Take the escalator down, go right, and place the suitcase on the conveyor belt to complete the second objective.
  3. 3
    Run through the doorway next to the belt, past the escalator to the right. Continue around the area until you reach stairs. Climb the stairs, punch the guard at the control panel, then punch the other guard. Take his K7 Avenger and kill him. Activate the control panel to subvert the security monitoring system and complete the third objective.
  4. 4
    Run down the stairs and kill all approaching guards. Make your way back to the room with the single escalator. On the way, find and go through a brown door near the hallway. Continue left and enter the first door on the left. After a man yells, go through the door near the desk. Turn left and shoot the mine on the door to blow up the glass window. Go through the window. Work your way to the rear of this room to find a small control panel. Press B to open it, then press B again to activate it, opening the nearby safe. Take the flight plans, then return the way you came to the area with the escalator.
  5. 5
    In the room with the single escalator, find another hallway with purple lines on the ground. Follow it to an elevator and take it down (it descends at an angle). At the bottom, exit the elevator and take out the two guards down the hall. Run into the large room containing Air Force One, guarded by lasers. Go around it to the right, up the small ramp, and into the elevator. When it stops, exit and go right. Kill the guards protecting Air Force One, then enter it to complete the final objective.
Tips
  • Ensure you are unarmed when entering the main lobby after obtaining the disguise.
  • The crossbow should be set to 'Sedate' when dealing with the two men at the table.
  • Be prepared to fight guards after descending the stairs in step 4.
  • The elevator in step 5 descends at an angle.
